Continuing education is at the heart of all Academy programs.
The Academy of Equine Dentistry is a school of responsible working practitioners. All instructors work
at the equine dental trade and return to the school on a regular basis to share their knowledge and skills. This is
the greatest reason for such a rapid rate of advancement in this industry. The instructors are
committed to sharing knowledge concerning the art and science of equine dental equilibration. At least eight certified equine dentists come
to assist in the wet lab and give lectures on a rotating basis.

teacher and instrument maker. He became committed to it slightly before the age of 40 in the
late 1970's and was first exposed to the trade in the late 1960's. His first experiences were
dreadful but led to an attempt over the years to develop and train interested individuals
in the use of practitioner and horse friendly instruments. Dale and his brother, Lloyd, own World Wide

instruments to over fifty countries around the world. Dale is the principal lecturer for the Anatomy, Physiology
